Thanks for the idea. cntlm won't help me because the proxy doesn't use NTLM authentication. But the idea of using another proxy to add the credentials might be a breakthrough. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a light-weight proxy that seems to work properly with the upstream proxy. (And I haven't tried squid, fearing the time sink that might involve.) Resolving that issue isn't a proper subject for this forum so I'll take it elsewhere. But in the interim, I'd still like to see a solution for Eclipse/Buckminster directly, if anyone can offer one. -- Dave Close I don't send HTML email and I prefer not to receive it.
